A lively script with a brush-pen feel, showing tapered terminals and subtle stroke modulation that suggests pressure changes. Letterforms are tall and compact with a tight rhythm, and many characters feature soft loops and occasional flourished entry/exit strokes. Strokes are generally smooth and slightly irregular in a natural way, with rounded curves, narrow counters, and a handwritten baseline that stays fairly consistent across words.
Well-suited for short to medium display settings such as logos, boutique branding, product packaging, social graphics, invitations, and quote-based layouts. It can also work for subheadlines or callouts when paired with a quieter sans or serif, especially where a casual, handwritten note-like voice is desired.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick but confident marker lettering. It reads as upbeat and approachable, with enough flourish to feel expressive without becoming overly ornate. The compact proportions and brisk stroke endings add a sense of momentum and spontaneity.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush script in a clean, repeatable font form. The compact, tall construction and tapered strokes aim to deliver energetic emphasis while remaining legible for display use.
Uppercase forms mix simple handwritten caps with a few more decorative shapes, giving headlines a varied, human feel. Numerals match the script’s slanted, brushy construction and maintain the same quick, tapered finishing strokes. In longer text, the tight spacing and tall forms create a dense texture that works best when given some breathing room.
